This tebe was filmed during the Cultural Festival 2010 at the President's Palace in Dili. It was filmed and edited by Victor Sousa for Tatli ba Kultura. TATOLI BA KULTURA is a research project that aims to gain the materials and knowledge necessary to establish the future Academy of Creative Industries in Timor-Leste. I have taken a copy from YouTube to share on Suai Media Space. The work on the Tatloli ba Kultura YouTube channel shows just how far East Timor has come with its healing. The existence of the tais, the head dress the amount of work gone into recording and editing these videos, show the huge amount of work being done in the country to strengthen traditional culture and learn new communication skills.
"Tebe Liku Rai (dancing drum) consists of 8 -16 of women lined up in two rows with small drums under the armpit and two men in the middle with a Surik (sword), a white handkerchief up in hand while shaking, dancing and shouting while the women dance and play the drums".

Featuring Cova Lima Artists

As part of our on-going conversation with the people of Cova-Lima we are pleased to be able to present New Photographs of the paintings and carvings of Cova Lima artists studying at Arte Moris in Dili. Featuring the work of Aze. Gibrael and Mariana. These are thinking young people casting an artist's critical eye over the politicians and international community. Many paintings show a deep concern for the health of their treasured traditional culture. What is missing are women artists!
